Willard was ****. Lumbering oaf who threw himself off balance with every drunken, pathetic swing. Couldn't defend himself. Bumbled forward with no really apparent purpose, swinging like a crude farmhand who'd learned to box in his backyard.

Well at least Dempsey has some wins over world class heavyweights. Toney has close to zero.

The same people who denigrate Dempsey for not meeting every to contender of his era, will desperately scratch around to find a single world class win for Toney at that weight, and then hold it up as if there is somehow something to compare!

Willard is exactly the kind of quality win Toney never achieved at that weight!

People trying to big up Toney’s heavyweight resume should not talk trash about Willard, unless they are trying to embarrass themselves.
